LeBron James said Lue's 4th quarter calls 'perfect' vs. Bucks

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers lost a close on Tuesday night, LeBron James was more than happy with the Cavs’ process in their 4th quarter comeback. The comeback was led by a unit without James of Dywane Wade, Kyle Korver, Jeff Green, Jae Crowder and Tristan Thompson.

James called the decision to ride the hot group “perfect.” He also told the players during the run that they had deserved to be out there after cutting down the Bucks lead.

The Cavs were down 15 after three quarter and nearly stole the game in the final moments. James didn’t come in until below the four minute mark of the 4th.

This could ultimately another building experience for the Cavs supporting players. Especially in the last few NBA Finals, the Cavs bench has struggled to keep leads. This season, they’ve either extended them or led the Cavs back.

In addition to the confidence moments like last night’s run can build, there is also added benefit of a lighter 4th quarter from LeBron. And that has been much rarer than a successful stint for the Cavs bench this season.
